Before we get too entrenched in the Rock genre of girl bands, I want to give a quick nod to some of the Women of Jazz. These ladies really paved the way for the girl bands of the early Motown era and all girl bands to come.

I can't even begin to do these ladies justice so I suggest you do some research on your own. In my opinion these women are essential in understanding women in modern music, and I have included some of my favorite songs by each.

hi, i'm *j and I will be your server today

After nearly a year of Song of the Day posts on Facebook I am starting a music blog. For those days when just a few characters isn't enough to fill my musical thoughts.This is meant as a journal for teaching my kids about the importance of music and music history. Monday through Saturday will be generally be rock related, though not always. Sundays we will go into other genres from Swing to Jazz to Musicals to Classical. Not sure if you'll read me, not sure if you'll care. But you are invited to tune in to check out new and old tunes with me in bite-sized digestible trax.*j
